Why Upgrading Your Office Shredder Improves Security & Efficiency

Jun 2, 2025 | Blog

Everybody likes an upgrade, whether that be a new phone or a brand new pair of shoes. But when we’re talking about office equipment, one of the most important upgrades you can make for you and your offices’ security is your office shredder.

We get it. It’s hard to get excited about upgrading your office shredder. But if your current shredder sounds like your neighbor’s lawnmower, jams more than it shreds, or overheats more than it should, it might be the perfect time to consider an office shredder upgrade. We have an extensive list of shredder options you can go over in our shredder catalogue.

We’ve spent 30 years helping businesses in Little Rock streamline their operations, and one piece of business tools that is always overlooked is the office shredder. Whether it’s for protecting sensitive information or just keeping your workflow smooth, upgrading your shredder can have a surprisingly powerful impact.

 

It Improves Document Security

Whether we like it or not, data breaches have become quite commonplace in the 21st century. Amidst privacy concerns and business leaks, document security has become more than option, but something that is essential.

Older office shredders often only cut documents into long, thin strips. If a person was determined enough to piece together these documents, a lot of private information could be uncovered and used for malicious purposes.

A modern office shredder upgrade offers cross-cut or micro-cut features that turn every document it touches into confetti, making them borderline impossible to piece together.

Here at CBE we believe that if it’s something worth shredding, it should be shredded well.

 

Long Term Savings

Buying a new shredder might not seem like a top priority, but here’s the thing: constantly having to repair outdated machines end up costing you more over time. Investing in a higher quality office shredder upgrade means you spend less time taking service calls, less money spent for a technician, and less money spent ordering replacement parts.

 

Less Noise = Better Office Atmosphere

Older shredders tend to make quite a racket, which can disrupt focus across the entire office. Upgraded models are significantly more quiet, allowing you and your team to stay in the zone. Little upgrades like this can make a world of a difference in making the office a more tolerable and enjoyable place to be.

 

Save Both Time and Money

Has a shredder ever jammed on you? We know how quickly those minutes add up. Multiply the minutes spent waiting for a shredder to unjam by the number of employees that use it and you’ll find a lot of hours that could have been spent productively going to waste. Upgrading your office shredder means it can handle higher volumes, it works faster, and it reduces downtime.
